Happy Friday, friends!
It’s a beautiful day out here at Ocoee Farm, so we spent the morning walking the property and checking out the new fence.
A fence at the farm completely changes everything: we’re able to have more animals, create a diverse ecosystem that will hopefully produce more carbon into the air, effectively helping the earth and its atmosphere. I know that probably sounds CRAZY, and just typing it I feel overwhelmed because we’re just two people and how can we make a difference when it comes to the ongoing climate crisis? I honestly don’t know, but you gotta start somewhere, and we want to do this thing right, so we’re doing research and taking the steps to be the best little natural farm we can be.
In other news, tomorrow we’re going to one of our first social gathering events after getting vaccinated (our second dose is in a few weeks!). My best friend’s daughter is celebrating her first birthday, so we’re all going to be celebrating with her around actual people in an actual social setting for the first time in over a year. It’s weird to think about, isn’t it? But also, so thrilling.
We haven’t been anywhere with all three kids in an environment like that in so long that I don’t know how they’ll even act, but I do know they do so well in public places that I’m not worried in the least. I’m just excited for them; little sis is looking forward to getting to hold Betsy (she loves babies) and the boys will get to eat some cake. So basically we all win.
PJ has been on the phone all morning with the fence guy and the concrete guy and the painter and the pond guy and is currently outside with one of them discussing a new concrete patio/front porch for Holiday House. I am so, so, so thankful for him and for his ability to make things happen.
The thing to know about PJ is that he always has a plan. Always. He doesn't do anything unless he is 100% sure and has considered every other option. My guy. He’s a good one, y’all. The best one, in fact.
Hope you have a great weekend and soak up some fresh air and sunshine, if you can. xoxo
